What if the negative results contradict some recent papers in big journals? Would the PI risk his / her contacts & connections? Of course for the PhD student or postdoc, it matters a lot to get it 'published'..

Dear CCP4ers,
I think this is a very interesting initiative and it could potentially lead to a discussion within the board.
Best,

Asunto: Could Biological Negative Results be published?

 Dear colleague,

As you are well aware it is common in our field that many of our
endeavors do not lead to the results we want or expect. Numerous tests
and experiments have outcomes that we share with our immediate
colleagues during informal meetings, but that we are not considering
material for publication. As a result a wealth of information is never
brought to the attention of the greater public, which is not only
unfortunate, but also has others repeating similar studies to produce
the same negative results. Not only are a lot of resources like time
and money wasted in this way, but it also leads to frustration that
could have been prevented if only the scientists would have been aware
of the negative results of earlier studies. 

My name is David Alcantara and, on behalf of our editorial board,
I’d like to invite you to submit your articles to The All Results
Journals: Biology, a new journal that focuses on publishing the grey
literature that has never been published. It is our goal to compile
and publish those experiments that led to negative results or to
outcomes that were not expected and were not before considered for
publication. We of The All Results Journals feel that it is equally
important to publish these results together with interpretations of
the scientists involved and in this way offer a solution to the
problem that publication bias is causing, because of a strong emphasis
on positive results.

The All Results Journals:Biol is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to
publishing articles with negative results and outcomes that were not
expected and were not before considered for publication in all areas
of Biology (pure and applied). The Journal is TOTAL Open Access (no
fees to publish and read) and is being indexed by well-known
scientific databases such as Web of Knowledge, Scirus, and Pubmed This
will assure maximum exposure of your articles.

We expect to publish articles within four to six weeks of submission,
and our award-winning OJS Publications Web Editions Platform will
showcase your important findings to the international scientific
community.

Please check our info for authors to submit your articles at:

http://www.arjournals.com/ojs/index.php?journal=Biol&page=information&op=authors
<http://arjournals.com/ojs/index.php?journal=Biol&page=information&op=authors>

Thank you very much for your time and we look forward to hearing from
you..

With kind regards,

David Alcantara
